Virat Kohli reveals his love story with Anushka Sharma: "The first time I met her I cracked a joke immediately. I was very nervous and that's why I cracked a joke because I didn't know what to do. I was standing on sets and was being all nervous and jittery. I thought I was being funny (when I cracked that joke), and I said something which wasn't probably the right thing to say. She is tall and she was wearing heels (makes a gesture which isn't too much) and she was being told that I am not that tall, I am not 6 feet plus or something... she walked in with heels and was looking taller than me and I was like didn't you get a higher pair of heels. Then she was like 'excuse me' and then I was like 'no, I am just joking'. My joke became such a weird moment for myself. I was such a fool, to be honest. She was so confident, she is on sets regularly." Talking about how he and Anushka are similar, Virat said, "She is also from a similar background as me. We come from middle class families, made it in their respective careers, worked hard, got to certain stage. In hindsight, when we look into our lives, they were going at the same pace but in totally different worlds. The timelines of my debut is 2008, the timeline of her starting her first film, shooting for it was 2008 August. We met in 2013 and out lives have been so similar in totally different worlds and then we got along so well. We were talking real things, we were talking things that a lot of people don't connect with, only if you have seen that life will you understand what we are talking about. So the connect was there immediately." On their first date, he said, "It was pretty traditional; we would go out for meals. Eventually you didn't really have to ask out because both of us knew we liked spending time with each other. I don't even remember when we thought 'okay this is the time when the transition is happening', it was so organic and natural. And it kept getting stronger and stronger. We knew that we just wanted to be with each other." anushka Virat Kohli cricket feelings love emotions cute couple romantic togather loving adorable sharma shorts feeding t might be hard to draw up a power couples list without Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli in it. It was just a little over three years ago that the actor and the ace cricketer surprised the country with the news that they had got married in secret, in Tuscany. Although it seemed anticlimactic for a pair always in the limelight, for those in the know, an intimate, under-the-radar wedding was just a natural extension of their personalities. “We wanted to have a home-style wedding. There were only 42 people there, with all our friends and family present. I wanted it to be about Virat and me marrying each other, and not this big celebrity wedding. The energy at our wedding was blessed,” Sharma revealed to us in an interview, describing why privacy was paramount to the pair The two reportedly first met while shooting for a shampoo advertisement in 2013. “The first time I met her I was very nervous and that’s why I cracked a joke because I didn’t know what to do.
